Tuesday Meeting Jun 8th, 2010

Another promising evening for sailing as we left the harbour. Sun was shining and SE wind was about 6-8 knts.

We got a good start and noticed immediately that the boat speed that we missed during the earlier weekend had returned and during the short crosswind leg we managed to keep the same pace as Lexus, who dominated the races over the earlier weekend.

After the first turn, on the downwind leg we missed our leading position as we were struggling to get our spinnaker to pull, however we managed to gain the leading position again soon after. After that the wind died totally and after "sailed" about 1 mile in 2 hours we pulled off and start the engine in leading position.

No boats finally finished the race.
